AUTUMN COLOUR PALETTE FROM PLASCON
The 2024 Autumn Colour Palette , aptly titled Origin , is deeply rooted in the cultural and natural heritage of South Africa . In a world marked by rapid change , Origin offers a sense of reassurance , continuity and comfort by drawing on our immediate surroundings .
The collection of eight muted hues embodies a sense of authenticity , representing the cultural heritage and artistry of the African continent with a warmth and style designed to infuse interiors with hope .
The warm beige Parmesan Sauce and cooler Light Reflection , the two light neutrals in the palette , set the scene for rest and relaxation as ideal wall coatings . The natural clay-pink You ’ re My Sweetie , a more rustic take on the ever-popular Millennial Pink , and the glowing golden Turkish Tart add further warmth to this comforting palette . For fiery excitement there are Ginger , a colour reminiscent of traditional red clay pots , and Spanish Gold .
The delicate sage of Green Fog , the only cool hue in the palette , perfectly complements the rustic warms , while Ewa ( 72 ), a dark charcoal black , adds a soft graphic contrast .
The tonal range of Origin offers users flexibility and versatility to incorporate the colours in a way that works with a variety of decor styles . Despite the palette ’ s generally toned-down , mellow selection , decorators will enjoy employing particular combinations to create effortless yet eclectic interiors . Turkish Tart , for instance , brings cheerful warmth , while the richly saturated earthen Ginger Biscuit and Spanish Gold add heat . And the monochromatic duo Light Reflection and Ewa are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms .
In its down-to-earth autumn palette , Plascon has captured the grounded physicality of craft and the importance of memories , both personal and cultural .
